On the intermediate large load week 4 day 2, in the app its got me doing deadlift up to my knees, while the UNDER 80kg 3 day program on week 4 day 2 has me doing regular deadlifts. Which one is correct?

I'm an intermediate lifter slightly under 80 kg but very lean and not really used to high volume training. Therefore I wanna try the medium load version of the 3 day spreadsheet. Maybe I'm just blind but where can I find that spreadsheat?

You can't. low/Medium/high load has to do with the app. For the 3 day programmes on this forum you have under and over 80 kg. w. the under being the one w. more volume. Download the sheet (you get both programmes) and try out the over 80 kg. version. Good luck

For a period of time I wont have enough time for doing sheiko programs as written.I wonder if it will be possible to do the program without the second session of main exercise, or if there is a better Way to work around the lack of time.I know it is a big part of the program, adding volume and technique with those sets, so maybe better to find another program for the time when low on time.. Anyone have any experience and or thoughts on this ?

It is viable to do it that way. Remember to adjust the rest of the program.

First thing's first, these programs are not set in stone. You can and should make them work for you. Read Sheiko's statement on his programs if you haven't already. Your personal circumstances will determine what changes need to be made. It's generally a good idea not to change the overall structure though. That said at this training level these should work fairly well as is. Any needed changes will most likely be minor such as exercise selection and volume adjustments.

Now let's get to it. Boris has gone through the numbered spreadsheets widely available online and made them into coherent plans. It seems that the programs in the spreadsheets were collected from various places over the years. As such, they are collections and not really concrete training plans. On various forums people have tried to make sense of them and to distill actual training plans.

So now this has been done, by Boris himself. He's made two plans here: one for lifters over ~80kg and another for lifters under ~80kg (this is not an exact number, but it's a little more useful than just heavier and lighter).

For lifters under 80kg, use the large load intermediate program or the following spreadsheet.

You'll use the following sequence: Prep cycle 1, Prep cycle 2, Comp cycle (#37, #30*, #32. Note that #30 needed modifications in order for this to work so it is not the same as is available elsewhere). The first two are preparatory periods and the last is the competition period.

Set your new records, take your lessons learned, then repeat the cycle with the needed adjustments.

For lifters over 80kg, use the medium load intermediate program.

You'll use the following sequence: Prep cycle 1, Prep cycle 2, Comp cycle. If you look at prep cycle 1 in both the medium and large load you can see what types of changes can be made. For one thing you'll notice the overall structure is intact. The volume has been reduced in many cases by reducing the number of warm up sets before the work sets. Boris said that it has been shown that 3 warm up sets are enough. Another thing that can be done is to move the additional exercises to after you have completed the main exercises.
